GCC 6.3.0 has a known bug which related to _mm512_extracti64x4_epi64.
Please reference https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=82887

Some DPDK PMD avx512 version heavily use _mm512_extracti64x4_epi6,
which cause building failure with debug buildtype.

Therefore, it's helpful to check if compiler work with
_mm512_extracti64x4_epi6.

This patch check the compiler compile result against the test code
snippet. If the checking is failed then disable avx512.

Bugzilla ID: 717
Fixes: e6a6a138919f (net/i40e: add AVX512 vector path)
Fixes: 808a17b3c1e6 (net/ice: add Rx AVX512 offload path)
Fixes: 4b64ccb328c9 (net/iavf: fix VLAN extraction in AVX512 path)
Cc: stable@dpdk.org
